Lebo, KS
How exposed is Lebo to wildfire?
Lebo sits at the 82nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 617 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lebo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 76th percentile nationally.
Lebo's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 22.2% of Lebo's 617 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 77.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Lebo compares
Lebo scores 82nd nationally and 81st within Kansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lebo ranks 5,577 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,604 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 137 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lebo
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Lebo carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
With 77.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lebo gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Lebo's 82nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Lebo, see the exposure-zones guide.
